Re: starting cit today, advice needed
When I started it I was told to take 10mg for around a week to get adjusted to it, but after 3 days and no side effects I just went to 20mg.
Everyone reacts differently, there are similar side effects but the severity of them varies for each person. For me the only side effects I had were hypomania and I didn't need to sleep. But ADs can bring this out in people with bipolar so don't take too much notice of that.
It takes about 4-6 weeks to get into your system properly, if after that the effects are horrible and/or they're not working go back to the doctor.
